LOS ANGELES — Once the Cubs’ offense got rolling against the Dodgers bullpen, even a position player on the mound couldn’t slow the onslaught.
The Cubs beat the Dodgers 16-0 on Saturday, handing the home team not only their first loss at Dodger Stadium this season but also the most lopsided home shutout loss in franchise history.
It was the first time the Cubs had beaten a defending World Series champion by double digits since interleague play was introduced in 1997, and just the seventh time in the modern World Series era (since 1903), according to team historian Ed Hartig.
